Here's what my sleepy brain remembers:

The script called for Homer to make a frustrated grunt. Dan thought about it
and remembered an old time actor, I can't remeber who he said it was, who used
to have a saying that was "D'..aw" or something similar. (The reason that actor
said "D'aw" was because he would say it in a situation where he wanted to say
Dam*, but at the time that word wasn't allowed to be spoken in films).

Dan remembered that actor and his "D'aw" and turned it into Homer's "D'oh!".

Now you know, more or less, mostly more, where "D'oh" came from :)

I think the "Mary Poppins" episode is called
"Supercalifragilisticexpiala[Frustrated Grunt]cious" (or similar). I'm sure a
local comic shop guy can verify...
